Pathfinder 1E Is there any such thing as a male counterpart to the medusa?

Do you need a book? Just say it's male.
If I wanted to do that I wouldn't be asking. I'm not asking for a literal male medusa with identical statistics, but something more sexually dimorphic (i.e. different).

The maedar isn't open game content, so I'm asking if anyone else has done something similar that is. If no one has, that's fine too, because I just posted my own rendition in the monster homebrew forum.
 



Way back in the 80's Dragon magazine had an ecology about the male counterpart to the medusa; the maedar. Maedar had large, bald, muscular humanoids, who had the ability to turn stone to flesh by touch. The medusa would turn someone to stone, then the maedar would pound the statue into pieces, then turn the pieces back into gobbets of warm flesh to feed himself and his medusa mate. I don't remember the stats, except their attack was essentially two slam attacks as they slammed people with their fists.

I am aware. It was officially converted to 3.5 in another issue of Dragon magazine.

Body: snake
Hair: tiny men
AHAHAHA! Funny mental image.
